This sheet is oreferebly somewhat non-absorbent. At the head end 2 I provide a sheet of relatively flexible and resilient non-absorbent material 3, preferably thin rubber sheeting, one form being slit at 4 so as toreceive e cord 5 which is used for tying the finished tube around the hair which is to be waved. To prevent the rubber sheeting 3 from coming in direct contact with the hair, I preferably provide a thin sheet of tissue paper 6 which is pasted outside the rubber sheeting 2, as shown in Fig. 1. It will he noted that the rubber tip 3 is cut away at 3, this being done to permit the folding buck of the extended portion'li when the tube is rolled, and is more clearly shown in Fig.

The composition envelop or tube is preferably made out oi. 3, blank '7 of cotton gauze having an end 8 preferably of an absorbent paper, but stilt enough to not as an innertube to support the composition when the tube is rolled as shown in Fig. 3. in preparing the inner tube or composition envelop, any one of the Well-lmown powder or crystal compositions may be used, a thin layer being placed upon the upper side of the cotton sheet 7, after which the sides 9, 10 are folded over in a manner as indicated in Fig. ,3. To form the composition envelop at small Wooden rod which acts as a former laid upon the paper end 8 and this end 8 is then rolled around the rod and the rolling continued until the envelop takes the form shown in. Fig. The free end of the portion 7 may then be pasted against the tube so us to hold it in place. The paper coil 8 is preferably of such dimension that it may be rolled at least one convolution so :is to be interposed between the composition and the hair which is inserted into the tube.

To complete the tube the inner envelop or tube 7 is now placed upon the edge 1 of the outer blank 1 and rolled up into the form as shown in Fig. l, the outer edge of the outer tube being then posted against the tube so as to )revent the convolutions from spreading. 'lhe portion 3 oi the rubber tip or extension is then folded back so that the cord 5. is in position to be tied us in Fig. 4-.

Instead of passing the cord through slittcd portions of the flexible tip or extension,

as shown in Figs. 1 and i, the extension 3 may be left whole, that is, not slittcd. and then folded back as shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the cord 5 being placed in position and the m erlappinp; part 3* posted down at 12 so as to keep the cord from slipping of? the end of the tube. This is shown also in Fig.7.

income In the use of my improved tube for the permanent Waving of hair, the hair is first separated into strunds or tresses'of suitable thickness and then Wound around a. metalor uitable curler. The outer end of the 7d tube is then dipped in water and partially immersed for from five to twelve seconds,

according to the length of the tube and the quantity of composition in it. The tube is then placed over the curled tress, as shown in Fig. 7, after which the flexible tip is socureiy tied around the tress as close to the head as possible. It will be apparent that, due to the use of the rubber tip, and'by the. method of securing the cord 5 thereto, the tube is not only secured and sealed very close to the head of the person being open ated upon, butthe cord is prevented from slipping ofi the end of the tube. Also because of the resiliency and flexibility at the tip and the use of the thin paper liner 6, a more perfect seal is secured next to the head and thus there is less liability of steam or heat escaping to reach the scalp. This'escoping steam in prior tubes has frequently been the cause of serious injury. With my improved tip this is practically impossible. After the hair is inserted in the tube the open end of the tube is closed by inserting iL wad of WOOl. or cotton 11, thus preventing tie ready escape oi heat or steam from the interior of the tube. Heat is then applied to the outside of the casing l by any of the Well-known methods.

For the purpose of illustrz'iting my inven- 100 tion I have chosen preferred 'forms of construction, but it is to be understood that l: contemplate making other modifications, and therefore I do not desire to be limited to the exact structure shown and described,

but aim to cover all that which comes Within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Hsri g thus described my invention what I clu-in'i as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

i. A hair-waving tube comprising a tublllill casing of relatively stiff material, rublmrtl th sheeting secured to the head end as an extension of the tube, and means 116 for securely fastening said extension so as to seal the tube adjacent the head.

2. A. heir-waving tube comprising a tubular casing of relatively stifi' material, rubber-cloth sheeting secured to the head end 120 as an extension of the tube, u thin absorbent shoot. inside suidcxtension, and means for securely fastening said extension so as to seal the tube adjacent the head. i

3. A hair-Waving tube comprising an in- 12 nor ubsorl'icnt paper inbound an intermediute clotht-ube having an interposed layer of composition;

-l. A heir-waving tube comprising an innor absorbent paper tube and en interme- 1 diate cloth tubehaving an interposed layer of composition, and an buter tubular casing having a relatively. flexible non absorbent head end extension with means. f or senling 5 the same adjacent the head.

In witness whereof, I heve hereunto sub- FELIX COUNE.
